I think 'nonsense' is worn out. Well I do not see a preview even
though I had not tried to get rid of it. The main window has all sorts
of controls and if you look in the Skype File menu you will see a couple
of commands that may be of use. Consider the fact that version 8.x is a

I am also relieved that the nonsense is overbut I find nothing in the menus
indicating what the new shortcuts are. I keep getting these skype preview
windows where there is nothing that allows a call to be made.

So relieved the 'nonsense' is over. Suggest exploring the menu bar
to see if there are new shortcuts.

I had this sort of thing happen with Dropbox months ago, and the solution was
to find and dispense properly with one or more extra windows found by VO+F1 or
VO+F2, if I remember correctly. Common window names might include
System dialog, Notification Center, and Security. This is from months-old
Hi Jean,
Simply asking this for perspective..and apologize if the answer is
somewhere else.
When was the last time you successfully used Skype with the exact

started and was accessible with VoiceOver.
